Fans of the popular manga series Chainsaw Man are mourning the beloved series after the release of its last chapter, but some are mixed about one particular page near the end of it.

On the page, a character thanks Denji, the manga's protagonist, by the name of the series, acting as a meta joke that didn't quite land for everyone. Now, the page has become a meme and sparked redraws online.

But why exactly has the page become such a big meme this week, and what are some of the best edits? Here's what you need to know.

What Is The 'Thank You, Chainsaw Man' Meme?

The last chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga was released on March 24th, 2026. Chainsaw Man garnered a huge fanbase over the past few years, making the last chapter a very emotional release for many fans of the series.

Near the end of the chapter, the protagonist Denji saves a girl named Asa from tripping and falling. She says, "Thank you, Chainsaw Man," and he's taken aback, asking, "Chainsaw Man?"

Asa explains, "Because you were fighting with a chainsaw," and Denji admits that the nickname makes a lot of sense.

The page is an example of meta-humor, directly referencing the title of the manga series for a bit of comedic relief. However, some fans of the series weren't a big fan, seeing the moment as corny and tonally odd.

How Is 'Thank You, Chainsaw Man' Used In Memes?

After the final Chainsaw Man chapter dropped, fans quickly took the "thank you, Chainsaw Man" page and started editing it to reference other manga and anime series.

These edits highlight the absurdity of the joke in a playful way and show the protagonists of a given series being called by the titles of their series, with edits including everything from Spider-Man to One Piece and beyond.

The high-quality edits are going viral everywhere from X / Twitter to Reddit and beyond, showing a lot of dedication from the series' fans, whether they're happy with the ending or not.
